Hi Moms,

Can you believe today is the last day of January? It seems like we were just chatting on the forum about preparing for the holidays!

It has been just over a month since that fateful day in a Newtown elementary school. As a result of the terrible tragedy, schools across the nation are increasing security. One school is taking heat, however, for its new policy that will limit the number of times parents can visit their children during lunch. Come read about the new policy and share your opinions!

Also going viral on the web is a picture posted by a mom who decided to open her child’s nasal aspirator. You will not believe what she found inside! Make sure your take a look at the picture and either clean or toss your aspirator out ASAP!

In addition to a nasal aspirator, there are many must-haves for a newborn. Do you think perfume should be one of them? Dolce & Cabbana just launched a perfume for babies that will supposedly enhance their natural scent. Is it a cute idea or totally unnecessary?

Last but not least, there have been articles after articles written lately about parents using embarrassment as a way to discipline their children. What is your opinion on this new parenting trend?
